• Which best describes the extracellular matrix?
• It is found just inside the cell membrane in all tissues, it sends branching collagen fibers

between cells to connect them, and it transmits chemical information from the interior of one cell to the interior of adjacent cells.

• It is a tissue having more than the four general cell types, it transports proteins and

polysaccharides between body compartments, and it is the route by which chemical signals like hormones reach all parts of the body.

• It covers the body's surface, it contains connective and muscle tissue, and it helps generate

movement.

• It surrounds cells; it contains proteins, polysaccharides, and minerals; it provides a

scaffold for cell attachment; and it transmits chemical messengers to cells.

Topic: Definition of homeostasis

• Describing a physiological variable as "homeostatic" means that it
• has varied from the normal value, and will remain constant at the new value.
• never varies from an exact set point value.
• is in an equilibrium state that requires no energy input to stay at the normal value.
• is in a state of dynamic constancy that is regulated to remain near a stable set point value.
• has no normal range, but will just change to match the outside environmental conditions.
